As requested here a new colour, Rubber Orange (LDraw code 350) has been added to LDConfig.ldr. Thanks to Scott Wardlaw for turning the request around so quickly.
The colour table has been updated and the new file can be downloaded here.
I've downloaded an l3b file (a model of the Lego 8070 Supercar) from a forum, and when I try to open it, it comes up with a bunch of missing parts. Some of them I was able to find, but I'm still missing a few, and I can't find them, for example, when I search for 58124s03.dat, I get a google result for http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg...124s03.dat, but that page says the part wasn't found. But the page did exist, I found it on archive.org: http://web.archive.org/web/2010120509483...124s03.dat
Why has this part been deleted? Why can't I find it anywhere?
I was wondering if there is a utility that can generate a cylinder of a given radius, centered on the line between two points. If I had this would be so helpful. The cylinder result would come out as an n-ncyli.dat file. Generated from the first point with the same orientation as the line.

Hi there... I'm working on designing a Graveyard to go with the Monster Fighters Haunted House.
I'm using the "Gate" that came with the set... but LDraw seems to be missing the curved gate pieces.
I'd appreciate them getting onto someones "to do" list!

I became slightly confused today. There are parts that I pulled off your website many years ago. Now it seems as if they don’t exist. They are parts for the Train Track 9v Points. They were authored by Soete Ludo. I submitted one thinking it was an update. Only it was treated as if I authored it. Could you please explain?
This is the part list:

Hello Travis,
I just discovered that sometimes LDView creates syntactically invalid .pov files on export.
The problem seems to be triggered when you're rendering a file from your LDRAW "models" folder
which references a primitive located in a folder called "48" inside that "models" folder.
What happens in that case is that the resulting .pov file contains a line
Note the leading "48/" in the identifier, which is illegal.
Note that LDView seems to substitute the substring _slash_ for / already,
but that seems to fail in some cases.
I've attached my test file plus its .pov output file here for your reference.
I'm trying to work out the command line parameters to render a snapshots of different models files.
I want a fixed camera position regardless of the model size or location. I've tried all manner of combinations of -ModelSize -Autocrop -FOV -ZoomToFit -ModelCenter etc. etc. but cannot seem find the right combination.
I thought the -cg45,45,1000 would do it (lat,long,distance) but this seems to get different results depending on the size/location of the model in question.
